Highlights

  • Includes a cruise across beautiful Lake Manapouri and coach over Wilmot Pass

  • Small friendly groups - maximum capacity 8 kayakers per guide

Doubtful Sound is commonly referred to as "the sound of silence" and now is the time to immerse yourself in its sweet serenity.

Our epic 4.5 hour kayaking experience is unlike any other, bound to give you ultimate bragging rights amongst your friends.

Longer, deeper and bigger than Milford Sound, Doubtful Sound is here to rival the masses. The mountains are just as high, the cliffs are steep, the waterfalls are powerful and the views are even MORE SPECTACULAR (in our humble opinion of course). We are sometimes at a loss for words of how to adequately describe the raw, majestic beauty of this Fiord, so come and let us lead the way.

Kayaking gives you a whole new perspective to this immensely stunning corner of the world and we aim to challenge the ordinary and leave you with memories that are unsurpassable.

We challenge you to delve deeper, go further than the average experience and Go beyond with us.

최고의 시간이었어요~~

새벽부터 시작해 마나포우리에서 큰 배를 타고 Doubtful Sound 로 들어가 또 버스를 타고 도착한 곳에서 긴 여정만큼 아름다운 것들이 우리를 기다리고 있었습니다. 아침에 소나기가 끝나고 카약을 시작하자 해가 나기 시작했고 3시간 동안 패들링을 하여 웅장한 피어르드 지형을 보며 너무 기분이 좋았습니다. 운이 좋게도 펭귄과 바다표범도 보았어요~~ 밀포드 사운드도 갔었는데 저는 이곳을 더 추천합니다^^

Fab day out!

Had an amazing time exploring Doubtful Sounds! Started off the day with a stunning sunrise whilst crossing Lake Manapouri. Throughout the trip staff were very knowledgeable and shared lots of information and stories on the area. Whilst on the water it is so peaceful, with amazing scenery and wildlife surrounding you! The highlight has to be the dolphins we saw, which came over to say hello! Would highly recommend this experience, although would note for more impressive waterfalls go when there has been some rain!

Doubtful sound Kayak trip

Our full day trip was amazing, the sunrise as the boat cruises over Manapouri was beautiful, the bus drivers were friendly and knowledgeable and the kayak guide made us feel safe and was informative as we kayaked around the fiord. We had a great day out and would recommend this tour to anyone of any fitness level.
